You finance the destruction of your privacy—and bureaucrats think you don’t care!
British Columbia is in the forefront of a massive expansion of government accumulation of private information about citizens. The BC plan is beguilingly called, ‘Citizens @ the Centre: BC Government 2.0’
But what’s really at the centre is all your private and confidential information. And at the periphery will be tens of thousands of portals, giving bureaucrats access to your secrets.
Ms. Michael Vonn, Policy Director for the BC Civil Liberties Association, spent an hour on RoadKill Radio Tuesday night revealing hidden dangers in the system that the provincial government doesn’t want to talk about. …full story

Burnaby School District DECLINES RoadKill Radio’s request for an interview!!
Shock…gasp! Actually, no surprise here; it is amazing what happens when parents find out what is going on in their schools and informed media (RKR & LifeSite News) start to ask questions!
RoadKill Radio first talked about this issue on our March 15, 2011 broadcast when we first became aware of the Burnaby School District’s proposed ‘homophobia/heterosexism’ policy. Since that time, community associations and parents have united their efforts to put a stop to this absurd and dangerous policy.
In a recent correspondence declining our invitation to appear on RKR and explain the District’s reasoning behind this policy, the Burnaby School District states…full story
This week on RoadKill Radio more election coverage and current events that matter!
Canadian iconoclast Ezra Levant told RoadKill Radio Tuesday night about his hopes for the latest phase of his career: host of a one-hour public affairs talk show on the new SUN-TV network.
“The theme is one word,” said Levant: “Freedom. It’s about the individual and the State. And we’ll be able to talk to people all across the country.”
The network and Levant’s new show premier April 18. As of this writing, Shaw is the only cable service committed to carrying it.
What will be the tone of Sun News Network? The station’s slogan is “Hard News; Straight Talk.”
“I’ve heard Pierre-Carl Peladeau speak about it several times,” said Levant, “and he uses the word ‘conservative’… It’s also populist, patriotic, irreverent. Look at the talent that will be animating this network: Charles Adler, Brian Lilley, Theo Caldwell… There’s a unity of purpose. I’ve heard the phrase ‘A rebel network’… One of our people said, ‘We already have a CBC… we already have a billion-dollar-a-year, completely unwatchable bland, stale, vanilla network. We don’t want to be another.’
“The biggest problem with Canadian journalism,” Levant continued, “is the sameness of it… remarkably similar, like birds responding to some ultrasound signal, lining up their formation. Once in a while, the mob gets it right; but so often the group-think expresses itself in a liberal way. My favourite example is the way the press is in love with Omar Khadr, with gun control, with global warming—by far the biggest issue on which you have this ‘consensus’ in the media… it’s like a group of high school girls comparing fashions: ‘If you’re not doing what the other Heathers are doing, you’re un-cool.’ That’s the way it is with the old media on global warming.”
“So much of what goes on in media is so boring,” added Kari Simpson. “That’s because it’s all liberal.”
